buzz...Buzz...BUZZ...Hear the sound of gossips!!! I know this sound best cos I'm a gossiper too.

I'm irritated at these 2 gossipers because they gossiped behind my back and in-front-of my sister.

Actually there was nothing to gossip about. And for a person with normal brain capacity, those trivial things that happened 1.5 mths ago should long be left behind somewhere.

But anyhow, i'm not sure if i ever gossip about someone 13 years later, it would be the same scene.
But anyhow, gossip only if its necessary. A reason such as jealousy is an excuse.

Exams are round the corner. The semester is ending.
Its a sad sad thing.

I've never appreciated uni life until this semester. Uni life is like that of a nomad. Moving from LTs to TRs; not taking a second look at who's around you, only focusing on whats on the board and in your mind. It has been lidat for the previous sems.

This sem is different. I felt the warmth in the freezing cold classroom. Perhaps its the smallness of the class that gave me the cosy feeling of family and unity.
All my years in NTU, i have never stayed back in school until 10plus pm, just to discuss school work with my schoolmates. Though not all of us were smart geeks, the presence was what mattered most. Though the topic was hard, surprisingly, i enjoyed myself and I felt that the time spent was so much more meaningful than taking a power nap.

I can't believe these pple have become part of my life, such that i felt sad being away next sem and not able to attend classes with them. I have never thought i would be so affected by my classmates. Perhaps, this is the 1st time in uni that I ever had a proper class.

As if that wasn't sad enough, the lyrics of Vitamin C-Graduation made it even worse. Will these big brothers and sisters still rmb me when they grad? Will they still rmb the jokes that we cracked and the fun we made of one another? Will they still rmb all the exact scenes in the wintery TR102, which we spent consecutive hours in it...

12.38am. someone's alarm clock just rang. LOL. just when i'm about to slp.

good time management was a compliment then. is it still applicable now? Have I always been so irresponsible and lazy, just that I didn't demonstrate until recently? Or is this a change in me or a form of addiction to TVB dramas and the various applications of Facebook?

I don't know if I find it hard to concentrate. I seemed to be in a daze all the while. Pretending to be busy cos I thought I am. But actually not quite. At the back of my mind, there is seemingly a lot of things I need to do. But on 2nd thought, those things..do I really need to do them now?

recess week. it came and left.

never-ending work. one after another. one togther with another.

i still manage to find time for Farmville, Pet Society and Restaurant City. well done to me. this is what i call good time management.

not to forget, my perfect dvd-dinner combination. it has made dinnertime the most enjoyable time of my entire day. But it has also made me almost obsolete in hall. it takes a lot to be called 宅女. do you then, have what it takes?

group assignments are things that pple usually enjoy. me too. but not when u have free-riders tagging along. i regret saying yes. when she asked if she could do the proj with me, i shd have just said no. afterall there are so many others who are doing it alone. and it is not as if i cant cope alone. why did i agree?!!

why did i agree to let her do the proj with me? asking the qn over and over again doesn seem to fetch me any answer. the thing is..is there a difference now that she's doing the proj with me? No. cos i'm still doing all the work and redo-ing all the work that she has done. i'm answering all the queries that she has..and she's typing down those words that i said into the report. in a condensed version somemore. when the ball is thrown to me, i'm the editor editing my work. this is downright dumb.

I am a perfectionist. or maybe she is the total opposite. when 2 extremes come together..thats the exact situation now. i appreciate the thot that she has..sometimes we say tt its the thot that counts..but when it comes to assignment, actions definitely speak louder than words!!

i am not saying that i'll be handing in an A-grade assignment..but i'm sure its wont be tt bad given the amount of effort i have put in. but what abt the free-rider?

i miss doing projects with ys. the mkting assignments, the HRM assignments, and the thyristor project. i admit i'm not always the one giving the most all the time, but i seriously did put in all my best in those assignments. just like the one i'm doing now. sigh...

I hate hall. YES!!! I'm saying this openly..I HATE NTU HALL5!!! It sucks. Read the email below. I know its long.

Dear successful applicants of Senior Hall Fellow discretionary list (AY09/10), It has been a great start to an exciting year! Hall 5 has come thus far with your contribution and participation. I am confident that we can go much further with your continued support.
Faking it.

All sorts of shit. When you go down for the interviews, those big-headed pple tell u "Oh, there are a lot of potential members from the freshmen..so I hope you undstd."

I DONT UNDERSTAND!! Whats there to undstd? All i undstd is that, there they are telling you to join those comms, and there they are rejecting non-freshmen. WTF! QP, DnD. Look at this yr's JCRC. There's no one in there who's older than a yr2 student. And Chris had the cheek to ask me to join back as a Havoc programmer. To hell he goes.

I am angry..if you still cant tell from my tone. And i'm tired. All the fcking shit abt joining hall activities amidst so many other academic stuff. Now is not tt i dun wanna join. The fact is they only wanna freshmen!

The 4901 project is killing me. Working with a 'handicap' is not easy.
Same goes for next wk's quiz.
And I still have to be busy wif 2nd sis's wedding.
And the IA stuff leh?
And my stupid handphone which hasnt been behaving lately.
And I am very very tired.

We always talk abt choices..choices to eat what we like, do what we like, live what we like. But sometimes its not up to us to choose. It seems like the not-so-impt stuff havent been very successful and smooth-sailing since the start of school. Things were taking place at the speed of light while i was still happily in lala-land, painting rosy pictures of what things are going to be like. Well, since it has already happened, then what more can i do? I'm not left with a choice apparently, if you count accepting the facts or harping on them as an option.

I dun like the way things are "spinning" around me. It is an apt word, cos i get dizzy and confused as the things spin. And the feeling sucked big time.

Its just the beginning of the sem, and things are getting messy. Its up to me to get my mind set on my goals and be ignorant of the things happpening arnd me.

Whats been wrong with my browser..somehow it just doesn't display blogger correctly.

There are things that i dun say. Cos i dun think they are worth bringing up. But that doesn't mean they dun exist.

Pple say they undstd me in a way similar to pple judging books by covers. 99% of the time, those pple are right..but there's still that 1% probability that they may be wrong. I dun mean to keep things to myself, but how is it that pple can undstd how i feel when they're not in my predicament? Bullshit to the empathies and sympathies.

Being hurt time and again is as good as being stabbed at the same spot over and over again....the wound should not be touched cos just when u thot it has healed, it starts to bleed again. It may take eons to fully recover. Or maybe it wont recover at all? I don't know.

Until my heart is dead, the one holding the knife is never convicted for murder. To him, a mere word of "sorry" is his penalty for inflicting pain and injuries to others. But to me, he has gotten away scot-free....

Ion, anion, cation. What would you wear to one of the buzziest shopping malls in town?

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

"Please flush after use"
"Please do not litter"

These are 2 examples of the signs one can find in NTU campus. I can't help but wonder if such signs are meant to be insults to the intelligences of us - undergrads at least 19 of age. So we've all learned about demand and supply in Econs. And why is there a demand for such signs in the 1st place?

I was stuck in a $1-dilemma. Shd it be OCK curry puff, sotong onstik, chicken wing, buns from Q bread or mashed potato from 7-11? Would it be better to top another 50cents for a cup of honey green tea?

Conclusion: I'm a glutton.
school is starting in less than 12hrs time..one word to describe how i'm feeling...SIAN. this is wat i call the pre-school syndrome..even retail therapy fails to be an effective cure. perhaps t1, tmall and c sq are too boring for us le..but i think far places like far east wont be much better off either. i hate the feeling of going into shops and having nth to buy. i even hate the feeling of tiredness as we walk in and out of the malls for many many times cos we are too nua and forgetful. LOL

i saw gy on my way to meet GG1 just now. i spotted that hall tshirt from afar. but there was just insufficient time for me to do anything but to just walk past him, with our shoulders barely apart. i avoided his glare, but i'm not sure if he saw me. and i dun care. i dun undstd why i shd be avoiding him..but somehow, i've been so disgusted by his behaviour and attitude that it really made me stay away from him for the rest of my life. its just so sickening that there's a possibility that i might see him in hall.

as for tmr..or maybe a few hours later, i've got my notes printed, pencil case packed..and OH! my specs!!! yet to collect my keys and clean up my room and move in and blah blah blah. argh!!! i just wanna stay home!!!!!

Convocation is a ceremony, a formality. But it is one with the most dignity and meaning, cos it takes a lot for one to put on that blue gown. Looking at all the smiling faces of the graduates, i could really feel their joy and happiness within. 2 more years and I'll be like them. My parents would too be in the big audi to witness that very handshake with the dean which marks the official end to my academic life. Would I be happie to part with that lil' bit of happiness that i ever get in my school life? Parting with all the friendship made during the 3.5 years of study..parting with the excuse of not being a responsible adult..parting with all the fun i got in camps and hall life? Will i still be as happie as i thot i would be? It might be too early to say anything now, but one shd never estimates the speed at which time flies.

**********

Last night I joined the Reapers for dinner @ NY NY, thou I was too full for any food. LOL. Its funny to see how they settled that bill of 200+++ bucks. Nobody refused to pay 1st, cos they think that that is a lu-gi business. So there they sat for some 30mins, thinking of ways to collect the money. It was hard to split the bill cos there were pple who ordered just some side dishes, and some who ordered very heavy main courses. Nobody took the initiative to take out their wallet to pay for their own shares; instead they were chanting some stupid "thank you cheer", thanking imaginative pple who were going to treat them. I thot that was a sickening thing to do, even if it was just a form of joke. Cos it implied that they really had the intention of not paying for their own meals.
Horrible pple with horrible thinking!

After dinner, everyone adjourned to the roof terrace of Esplande to talk cock. I felt it was a lil bit of a wasting time, but i didnt voice my opinion. It was a torture to see and hear Kang Cai. I have nv seen such a BHB cum despo JERK. It angers me to hear his sickening voice. Cos apparently nth of the least bit of decency comes out of his big mouth. Thats when I decided to end my misery by going home early. Cos i knew if i dun, sth nasty might just come out of my mouth.
And I've decided that in future, its either him or me. If he's gonna turn up for any outing, then i'm not going-just like today's outing. Cos I dun fancy making myself unhappy.

Camp Insinyur ended. A camp filled with joy, laughter and tears. All I can say is that comparison is an evil tool..the more u compare, the harder it makes life. I wouldnt have shed those tears, if I hadn't taken things so seriously, if I hadn't compared Reaper with Gimli and Nova. Why..pple are all different..how can I ever expect Insinyur 09 to be the same as Insinyur 08 or 07? I felt so foolish when I was motivated by those pple whom I labelled as ungrateful and insensitve, to stay on instead of going home..it shouldnt be that way. Was that what people called Responsibility or Passion?

Now that camp is over..I have the exact same feelings I felt in me last year, to join back as a GL once again. I dun wanna make any rash decision..because I know there's a possibility I might regret..just like how I felt before I went for the camp a few days ago. But from the bottom of my heart, I really wish to be there again.

Though Terence and Colesty were not the best partners one could have, I am touched by what Terence did for me. I felt bad when he fell sick because he was taking care of me the entire night before.
I am glad that I made many new frens, including my self-declared SP.

Is there any basis for me to join back Insinyur again?

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Insinyur camp le..sian. there're only 2 main reasons for hating camps:
1. no proper sleep or place to sleep.
2. to have to carry days of clothes and dirty clothes..and all other barang barangs.

After that will be hall camp. there's no way to getting out of that camp, unlike the coming one. and to make things worse, there's that stupid guy in hall camp. i hate it when he feels that he's still the CP and gives f-kingly irritating looks like "based-on-my-experience-i-think-this-is-right-and-hence-u-shd-listen-to-me" kinda look and "i'm-the-ex-CP-so-i'm-different-from-other-seniors" kinda look. Seriously, just those 2 looks ought to fetch himself lots of slaps and punches, curses and swears.

Egoistic men ruin pple's lives.

Thursday, July 16, 2009

to curse and swear. of cos i have reasons to.

1.guoyuan has no intention of letting me go and letting me off. he even had the cheek to ask me out for a Harry Potter date. STOP DAYDREAMING.

2.camps are coming. sian..far far accommodation, no sleep, no nice bed, mozzies, stupid activites..what a waste of time. i think i will make myself stay away from camps in the coming year. they are too smart for a stupid person like me. or vice versa.

3.i may be a bridesmaid. BUT i'm not a maid.

4.my stupid driving.

5.and that stupid thyristor project.

Friday, July 10, 2009

YEAH!! 2nd sis and Kurt have returned from their 2-weeks Tuscany and Belgium trip and they have bought my favourite pastry/biscuit..whatever you call it. 3 boxes somemore! i felt so touched..cos she actually rmb what i like..and the fact is that pastry/biscuit is not commonly found in NTUC supermarkets, and its not very cheap..so I seldom buy it. Haha.

**********
Tuesday is my driving test. OMG! I think i'm likely to fail. Not that I have no confidence..but the thot of each and every single component in the circuit...I really cant see why I'm gonna get out of it alive.

The slope-that killer #1. Its so steep!!! the feeling is scary when you are just at that white line. I recall having a nightmare abt having to drive up an almost vertical slope. All thanks to the phobia that that stupid slope left on me.

The parallel parking-killer #2. Maybe it was due to my inability to do sit-n-reach..its not easy to turn ur body and look at the rear window and have ur hands controlling the steering wheel, have ur half-trembling left leg controlling the clutch and have ur right leg alternating b/w the brake and accelerator. And i hate to see the stupid poles behind sway and eventually fall onto the ground. Thou that didn't happen, its a fair game of luck. May good luck stay with me on the day of the test.

Kerbs-killer #3. The S-bend, the crank course, the 3-point turn, the parking..mount it and u are dead. The question is: where in the circuit do u not find kerbs?

Double white line-killer #4. Having died there the last time, there should be no reason for me to get bitten twice. But still it depends on the situation. There are double white lines on the road just outside CDC too.

With the 4 killers (and maybe more) lurking around, tell me, whats the probability of not meeting them all?

Whoever dares to tell me driving is easy..i might just strangle the person, cos I'm sure every single driver (newbie/experienced) would have gone thru the learning stage, the test stage, and the greenhorn stage. And it is impossible, i dare to say, IMPOSSIBLE for them not to feel stressed at all, at every single point in time, with the presence of these 3 tough stages. I'm sure GG1 would agree with me.

**********
Just a while ago, i met KS to pass him his notes and we chatted for an hour. The main point was, i didn't bring keys, so poor mum couldn't go and bathe cos she was afraid that I would come back anytime. So she actually waited for me for an hour! She could have showered and went to bed. I felt soOO guilty. and i think KS was tired too..but i was waiting for him to say that he need to go back since his mum called to ask where he was already. BUT HE DIDN'T! and he continued to carry on the conversation! haiz..it wasn't just my fault only leh..i hope he didn't get a scolding from his parents and if he did, i hope he didn't push the blame to me. BUT well, the mouth is his, he's entitled to say whatever he wants. But i'm very sure this would not happen very frequently. SORRY MUM!

how often do you find a fren who thinks and laugh in sync wif you and cant stand the same kinda people as you?

this morn i finally met up wif SH for bfast. nth fantastic abt a McDs Big Bfast..but it was the time spent that was meaningful. Everytime we meet, almost w/o fail, we meet at the same place, eat the same food, talk abt the same old stuff..and we laugh at those old stuff over and over again. why..its been so many years and when u recall ur old sec sch jokes..they are as funny as ever.

we went to cotton on - our must-go shop in the mall..and we stood in the middle of nowhere @ tamp1..chatting, gossiping, waiting to bump into pple we might know, laughing at people who log on to msn and leaves a personal msg/nick like "in a bad mood..dun talk to me"..and looking out for funny people such as people wif ADIDA or ADIDAAS shirts or a man in a green 'Ralph Lauren' tee walking back and forth right in front of us for 4 times.

its just so..like us..like what we used to do many many yrs ago. Haha. I look fwd to the next Bfast meeting..probably when Xmas nears :)

i love my 空虚 life! :)

staying at home is boring. but going out is tiring, esp when the weather is so sweltering. it rhymes huh! LOL. 空虚 was the exact term i used to describe my life to my mum when i was lazing arnd wif gou gou this aftn. haha. but isn't this just the ideal kinda life?

when sch/camp starts..i'm gonna miss the kinda life..when u wake up in the aftn, knowing that u have nth to do..no deadlines, no tutorials, no lect notes to revise, no quiz..just nth. u wake up to eat, to laze arnd doing nth, and to slp afterall (u cant slp if u havent woke up). u wake up basically for nth! Haha. and that was the exact stuff that i have been doing since my return, including some occasional driving lessons and meeting ups. but more or less, its lidat.

one fren asked if i'm gonna just rot the whole holiday..i'm proud to reply..why not?! how many long holidays have i got to rot? next may-jul i'd be doing IO..and the one after the next, i might be joining the hectic life of working already..i wanna treasure the rotting kinda life i lead now, cos i've been yearning for it and i bet i'll be pinning for it soon. hahahahah :D

anger..grr!!!

of cos i was! Today I met the pettiest guy on Earth and it seems like i had underestimated the power of a guy's pettiness. deep down inside when last nite, he insisted that i join him for today's lunch and dinner, i had foreseen there would be some probs wif the outing. i could tell from the way he spoke, the way he behaved..he was probably a rich spoiled brat. perhaps a mild case. but i was surprised..it was more than just being mild.

i'm not a rich man's daughter and it would probably make my day if i pick up 2 bucks on the floor.
whats wrong with a small room for 4 when it was meant for 4? i didn feel my comfort being compromised.
whats wrong with bringing your own water if it saves u the trouble and money of buying drinks? i'm sure many of my frens would love it.
whats wrong with 3 gals being close frens and asking another guy to go out tgther? i mean if u are the guy, u shd have known how close ur frens are. but if u dun, at the very least, u shd be gracious and gentlemen enuf to ignore those nitty gritty stuff right?
but there's sth wrong when a guy doesn't behave or act or pretend to be gracious and gentlemanly and to walk out on people just lidat!!!

i hate it when guys do things that contradict their age...just got rid of one, and there comes another one. perhaps its gotta do with his upbringing. and i cant fathom why the best people did not have the best characters. had they no money for the best education and upbringing huh? i've never been fed with the best rice using the best spoons..so i dun ask for the best. but i expect pple to have the very least bit of graciousness, and for goodness sake-self awareness. to be aware of your own self. i think there's more than just a lil' bit of resemblance b/w him and Albert. LOL.

pettiness is reserved for the ladies. the men dun get it. got it?
